Earn a Certificate or Certification with CSU's Professional Development Benefit

Eligibility and Benefits

Because you're worth it! CSU staff and full-time faculty receive employee tuition remission benefits equivalent to the cost of eight (8) undergraduate credit hours per semester, which can be used to earn a non-credit certificate or certification.

Are you a part-time faculty member? Discounts may be available for some of our CE courses and workshops. Contact n.pratt@csuohio.edu for more information.

NEXT STEPS

Contact the Bursar: We recommend that employees start by contacting the Bursar's office to verify the balance available to them. Remember that your professional development benefit limit per semester encompasses both credit and non-credit programs. If you are unsure whether you have used this benefit before or what is available to you, the Bursar can help. 

Regarding Family Members: The tuition remission benefit is not available for non-credit classes and workshops for spouses and children of faculty and staff. For further information, please contact the benefit office.

Forms and Downloads:

Non-credit staff development (CE) has its own tuition remission processing form. Both faculty and staff who are taking non-credit classes and workshops use it.
